The Future of Us by Jay Asher & Carolyn Mackler

This book was a creative take on seeing the future.  It is set in 1996 when two kids, Emma Nelson and Jason Templeton, find something that changes their lives... But they try to take control of this change and it spins out of their favor.  There is a cool story line, great ending, and interesting characters, creating this overall great book.

Gossip Girl: all I want is everything by Cecily von Ziegesar

   

It was about the main people of the upper east side, Blair, Nate, Chuck, Serena, Dan and Jenny, and their hectic, stressful yet relaxing vacations in the Caribbean for Christmas.  The time spent in the Caribbean is as drama-filled as times at home.  Breakups, heartbreaks, cat-fights and stalkers follow these young New Yorkers, but will vacation be as restful and fun as planned?

The Girl who Circumnavigated Fairyland in a ship of her own making By: Catherynne Valente

September lives a normal life, cleaning the same teacups every day.  But when The Green Wind offers to take her to fairyland, she accepts.  Fairyland is filled with friends, such as a wyverary, a cross between a wyvern and a library.  Fairlyland is also full of dangers, such as a wicked queen who calls herself The Marquess, and velocopiedes.  This book great with many twists and turns, and an amazing plot line.

Soulless By: Gail Carriger

This book is about a woman who is barely accepted by society, due to her heritage, and is practically emotionless due to her lack of soul.  It takes place in England, but vampires and werewolves have been integrated into society, but the book will end up taking you to Paris and Italy.  It has good humor and action, and is overall great!
